Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Dominates US Game Sales in 2024
Circana's data reveals Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 as the top-selling game in the United States for 2024, extending the Call of Duty franchise's reign at the top of the US market to an impressive sixteen consecutive years. This success comes despite a slight overall dip in US gaming spending (1.1% year-over-year), a decline Circana attributes to decreased hardware sales, offset by a 2% rise in add-on spending and a significant 6% increase in service spending.
EA Sports College Football 25 claimed the title of most popular sports game, launching to strong sales on consoles in July.
Black Ops 6 and its companion title, Warzone 2, are set to launch their second season on January 28th, promising a ninja-themed adventure and an exciting crossover with the "Terminator" universe.
Critical acclaim for Black Ops 6 centers on its diverse and engaging missions, preventing gameplay monotony and consistently surprising players. The game's shooting mechanics and innovative movement system – allowing players to move and shoot freely, even while falling or prone – have also received significant praise.
The approximately eight-hour campaign length has been favorably received, deemed neither too brief nor overly lengthy. Player feedback largely mirrors critical reception, with particular praise directed at the zombies mode and the campaign storyline.
However, Black Ops 6 isn't without its detractors. A significant portion of Steam reviews cite technical issues as a major drawback, with frequent crashes and unreliable server connections hindering gameplay progression and impacting the overall experience. These technical problems have been a source of frustration for many players, particularly those attempting to complete the story mode.
